Our dry steam kills bed bugs and eggs the moment it reaches them. It leaves the nozzle extremely hot and carries very little water, so our technician can work it deep into mattress seams and cushion piping without soaking the fabric.
Where Steam Helps Most
- Mattress seams, tufts and edges, including floor mattresses.
- Couches, padded headboards and desk chairs.
- Car seats and child car seats.
- Pet beds, curtains and items too big for a dryer.
Why We Use Commercial Units
Home steamers lose heat at the tip or put out too much water. Our commercial machines stay hot, we move slowly over every seam, and we always add a second method because steam leaves nothing behind to keep working.
- FindWe locate where the bugs are hiding.
- SteamSeams, joints and folds get slow, overlapping passes.
- CoverMattresses and box springs often go into sealed encasements.
- Second methodA residual or heat step covers frames and walls, and we return to check.
Steam in Salinas Homes
Steam suits Salinas homes where the same couch is a seat by day and a bed at night, and families with a crib in a shared bedroom who want no product near it. It also helps workers who drive to the fields or to jobs over the hill on Highway 68 and want their car seats treated along with the house.
Getting Ready for Steam
- Strip every bed and wash and dry all linens on hot.
- Clear the floor around beds and couches.
- Point out any leather or delicate furniture to your technician.
Steam Treatment Questions
Is steam enough by itself for our apartment?
Rarely. Steam only kills what the nozzle touches, so we pair it with another method for bed frames, baseboards and the rooms around the bed.
Will steam ruin my leather couch or an old chair from my grandmother?
Most fabrics handle dry steam fine, but tell us about leather, antiques and delicate fabric so we can test a hidden spot or use a different method.
